Top Of The World Ranch Treatment Centre

The ranch is magical the staff are amazing the food is great this place gave me my life back and I will be forever Greatful!

I attended the Ranch on June 27 2009, with 7 days off my DOC. As soon as I entered the lodge I knew I was in the right place, everyone was so welcoming. At first I thought I only had a drug problem however I realized that I had a "life on life's term" problem. I was there for 30 days and required an extension' as it took me longer than others than I needed more time, the owner at that time let me continue with treatment which I required. I am happy to say that this year on June 20 2023 I will be celebrating 14 years substance free. I have a life today I could not envision when I stepped onto the property.
Thank you for my continued recovery without the people and place I am not sure where I would be today.
I continue to visit on occasion and am forever greatful.

My experience at Recovery Ranch has given me a new lease on life. I went in with an open attitude and was dedicated to getting better and the staff saw this early on and treated me with respect and understanding throughout. The clinical team in particular were well organized in delivering individual treatments for clients and it felt as if everyone was rooting for me to get better. The location is amazing and really helped this "agnostic/athiest" work on spiritual growth. I thought going in I would benefit most from individual counselling sessions, and while these were very beneficial, the group therapy was very effective. The relationships I developed with other clients also played a big role in my healing. The program has flexibility to suit each individuals needs, even if you struggle with the "12 steps", introducing the many recovery paths. Hikes, yoga, equine therapy and "Clearing Circle" were some of the activities I really enjoyed. I left a much more confident, hopeful and stable human than the version that entered.

The Ranch was an experience ill never forget. This place had a magic about it, the staff and clients were all fantastic and Ill be grateful for my time at the Ranch forever. Food Great, Shelter Great, program top shelf.

This place is awful… their communication is trash. I was assaulted by one of there staff members Steve and was refused medical treatment by the clinical staff who left me high and dry after I asked for help. DO NOT GO HERE ITS NOT WORTH 40K TO GET NOTHING OUT OF IT.

They demand that staff are open to "feedback" without regard to if it is based on fact or its delivery, and yet refuse to hear feedback from staff (dismiss feedback given to them).

On many occasions, I obtained approval for a decision from supervisors and/or management, and was later reprimanded for the decision (dismissing the fact that it had been approved by chain of command). When I objected (as it had been approved by those senior to me, so they should be responsible for the decision), I was told that I wasn't willing to hear "feedback. " - Taken from a Nanaimo former employee, only take this job if you are a in vast need for money. Very toxic leadership, not even leadership, just bosses.

TOP OF THE WORLD IS The best treatment centre in the world. I ain't joking. Things look like they may have changed a bit.but the staff are incredible. Go here.
